Shortlist announced for Adelaide Contemporary International Design Competition

The Government of South Australia through Arts South Australia, Art Gallery of South Australia and Malcolm Reading Consultants revealed recently the six teams shortlisted for the Adelaide Contemporary International Design Competition. The first stage of the competition attracted 107 teams made up of circa 525 individual firms from five continents. The global call for interest was designed to encourage Australian as well as leading international practices – a condition of the competition is a partnership with an Australian practice at stage two, which has already been fulfilled by the shortlisted teams.

The architect-led teams were the unanimous choice of a selection panel that included representatives of Arts South Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia and the Office for Design and Architecture South Australia, and which was chaired by the competition jury chair Michael Lynch AO CBE.

Finalist teams will now receive a further briefing and create concept designs that will be revealed to the public and stakeholders in an exhibition in April in Adelaide, and online, before the competition jury meets in May 2018.
